During an episode of Something To Wrestle podcast, it was revealed that Hogan was supposed to return at Survivor Series, and face Lesnar for the championship. However, Prichard revealed that while Hogan wanted to return and defeat Lesnar, WWE had other plans.

Prichard said, “He thought if he could come back and face Brock, that he felt he really needed to go over. I don’t think the championship was much of a deal as it was for the returning babyface to avenge the guy that put him out.” Prichard continued that they wanted to build Brock, and Hogan’s plan would have meant a defeat for Brock, and thus, the plan was scrapped. And at Survivor Series, Big Show would defeat Lesnar after aligning himself with Paul Heyman.
